About the game
A browser adaptation by Zarocer.
Decode an English quotation by matching each cipher letter to one plaintext letter. Use visible patterns, frequency analysis and optional hints to solve the phrase.
Controls
Select a cipher letter and type its replacement. Use Hint, Undo or Check when needed.
One substitution applies throughout the phrase
Choose a coded letter, then enter the letter you think it represents. Every occurrence of that code uses the same replacement. Word lengths, repeated positions and the frequency panel can suggest possibilities, but the most frequent code is not guaranteed to represent E in a short phrase.
This build uses a one-to-one substitution. Two different coded letters cannot share the same replacement, and a coded letter is not its own solution letter. Look for a consistent interpretation across the whole phrase rather than filling each word independently.
Check a deduction or reveal a letter
Check highlights incorrect filled guesses when the phrase is not complete. Hint reveals and locks an unresolved substitution, prioritizing the selected code when it is eligible. That differs from merely suggesting a common letter: the hinted substitution is a verified part of this puzzle’s solution.
Undo can restore a previous guess state, including the hint state recorded before the change. Daily selection follows the America/Santiago calendar used by this build, which can change at a different time from UTC-based challenges elsewhere in the catalogue. Local progress stays in this browser.
How to play
Select a coded letter and type the letter you think it represents. Your guess fills every matching position. Use Hint when stuck and Check to review your guesses.
Modes and local progress
Decode original phrases by replacing each coded letter with its match. The same symbol always stands for the same letter. Play at your own pace on mobile or desktop.
